I feel like some people are going really harsh on Allegri this season. Juventus couldn't make their dream come true, it is the truth. However with this squad it is really not easy to achieve a title against a this powerful Inter. Even if Inter weren't this good it looks like Milan were going to become the champions. This isn't a good season for them at all as a result.  Sad

But like I said the squad isn't strong enough now. There is still a big need of improvement for some positions. They need to improve their midfield especially as the goal contribution isn't good enough. The biggest problem of the team currently is productivity considering they scored only 47 goals so far.
Yes, it is natural that currently many parties are blaming and blaspheming Allegri. The reason is that this season Juventus' performance has dropped drastically. A big example, at the end of this season, Juventus often failed to win matches against teams that were considered not too strong in Serie A. So with this, it is natural that Allegri is currently being criticized by many parties, especially by Juventus fans.

Apart from that, maybe there is some truth in what you say, that currently Juventus has shortcomings in the midfield. However, in my opinion, apart from having shortcomings in the midfield, currently Juventus can also be said to have deficiencies in the back line. Because apart from being less productive in scoring goals. Juventus also has a weak defense, because in almost every match Juventus always concedes, even by teams that are considered weak. That's why Juventus always fails to win matches at the end of this season.


And today Juventus will face Milan. I think this match will be very difficult for Juventus. Considering their poor performance, it will definitely be very difficult to keep up with Milan in this match. Because currently Milan can be said to be much better than Juventus. The reason is that in their last 5 matches in Serie A, Milan was able to win 3 times, draw 1 time and lose 1 time. Meanwhile, Juventus in their last 5 matches in Serie A was only able to win 1, draw 3 and lose 1. So it is clear that Milan is indeed better than Juventus if seen and assessed from that point of view. So in this match, AC Milan will most likely have a bigger chance of winning.

West Ham 1-0 Liverpool (HT)
Liverpool's chances of winning the premier league faded from their last game, if they lose again in this game, any hope will be completely gone. Liverpool's poor form is kicking in at the wrong time, at a time where we expect teams to finish strong. They have started the second half much better than they did in the first half. They have equalized the goal, maybe they can turn this game around to change their story of declining performance. Salah has not played, and even when playing, he has not played well, will it not decrease his value?
In the 89th minute, the score between West Ham and Liverpool was still equal (2-2). Maybe if Liverpool players can take advantage of the opportunities that exist, of course scoring one goal is not impossible. The reason is that currently Liverpool players are dominating the game over West Ham. So Liverpool players should be able to score another goal in the final minutes. Although it seems like this is not an easy thing. The reason is, West Ham's players closed their defense too much, making it difficult for Liverpool's players to penetrate. However, if Liverpool draw this match, Liverpool's potential to win the Premier League this season will certainly be difficult.

M, Salah has also been played since the middle of the second half, but has not been able to provide a significant threat to West Ham's defense. It is possible that this match will end in a draw and Liverpool will definitely remain in 3rd place in the Premier League standings. So in this way, Liverpool can be said to have returned to the path of failure to win the Premier League this season. Because I'm sure Arsenal and Manchester City will bring home the full 3 points again this week. And of course, if this really happens, then Liverpool, with the points they are currently getting, will be further away from Arsenal and Manchester City.

Will Al-Ittihad be able to continue its winning trend today? especially considering that the opponent is Al-Shabab and of course this will not be easy for Al-Ittihad even if they play at home. If Al-Ittihad can beat Al-Shabab then they will shift Al-Ahli's position from 3rd in the standings and of course that will be their goal through this match.

~Snip
In this match the atmosphere was very hot and fierce. The reason is, Al Ittihad players and Al Shabab players exchanged attacks in a very organized manner from the first minute of the match. In the first half, both teams created many opportunities. However, until halftime in the first half no goals had been scored. Then at the start of the second half in the 48th minute, Al Ittihad had to concede first through a very beautiful one-two pass from the Al Shabab players and the goal scorer was Diallo. Then after that Hamdallah was able to score Al Ittihad's equalizer in the 58th minute with a powerful header. However, unfortunately in the second half the Al Ittihad players often lost the ball and the ball was mostly controlled by the Al Shabab players. And the result after that was that Al Shabab was able to score 2 additional goals which determined Al Shabab's victory. So in that match Al Ittihad had to lose to Al Shabab at home with a score of 1-3.

So with this defeat, Al Ittihad failed to shift Al Ahli from 3rd position and is still in 5th position in the SPL standings. Then in this match the Al Ittihad players actually played quite well, especially in the first half. However, in the second half the Al Ittihad players were unable to maintain consistent performance so that the Al Shabab players were able to control the game. Maybe that was the fatal mistake that prevented Al Ittihad from winning this match. And I personally was very impressed with the performance of the Al Shabab players. Because they have very good mentality and skills. Maybe if Al Shabab players continue to be developed, I'm sure they can compete better in the SPL.

Tomorrow Girona will have their 33rd match and will face Las Palmas. This match will really determine Girona in the LaLiga standings. The reason is that if Girona is able to win this match, there is a big possibility that Girona will be able to shift Barcelona from second place in the LaLiga standings. The reason is that currently Barcelona has a fairly narrow point difference with Girona (2), so if they win this match, Girona can definitely be in second place for a while. Apart from that, if you look at the head to head record between Girona and Las Palmas. So far Las Palmas have never beaten Girona in their last 5 meetings. Of these 5 meetings, Las Palmas was only able to draw 2 times and lose 3 times. So it is clear, if you look at the head to head record, Girona is definitely superior to Las Palmas. Therefore, in tomorrow's match I am sure Girona can definitely win the match against Las Palmas and can take home the full 3 points. So if you bet on Girona in tomorrow's match it will definitely be better. And I would also bet big on Girona in tomorrow's match.
Temporary replacement because currently Barcelona and Girona are 2 points apart and they played the same number of matches so I don't think it will have a big impact if Girona wins the match.
And I also think that currently Girona only needs to focus on maintaining its position so that it can finish in the top 4 positions in order to get a ticket to the Champions League next season.

This week's match against Las Palmas should not be that difficult for Girona even though the match is played at Las Palmas' home ground, but the Las Palmas team has a very bad performance now in the last 5 matches they have suffered consecutive defeats so it is possible that this week's match will also be similar.
If you look at the overall strength, Girona is also much stronger than Las Palmas.
That's right, finishing in the top 4 of La Liga is not a bad thing for Girona. Because that way Girona will still get tickets to play at UCL. Well, this is certainly quite a proud achievement for a team that has only been active in the top flight of La Liga for two seasons. However, in my opinion, there is nothing wrong if Girona has a higher target than just finishing in 4th or 3rd position. Because as I said, Girona has a big chance of overthrowing Barcelona from the current 2nd place. So it would be a shame if, for example, Girona wasted this opportunity. Therefore, in my opinion, the result of the match against Las Palmas will have a significant impact on Girona's position in the LaLiga standings. The reason is, if they can win this match, Girona will definitely be calmer when they face Barcelona next week. Because if Girona doesn't play optimally in this match, for example Girona lose. I think this will slightly close Girona's chances of overtaking Barcelona.

Apart from that, Las Palmas performed quite poorly in La Liga. But I think this is completely normal. Because as far as I know, Las Palmas only returned to the top flight of Laliga this season. Previously, Las Palmas had entered the top flight of the Laliga division, but that was a long time ago. So from here we can conclude that Las Palmas' performance is not good. But, if this season Las Palmas can stay in Laliga (not be relegated), I think that could be said to be a very good achievement. And the Las Palmas match against Girona, of course, as I said, Girona is definitely far superior.

Then playing on a neutral field in the final match, in my opinion, would be better and feel more tense. Because this will prevent both teams from feeling disadvantaged. It's different if you use the home away system, this system always makes the team feel at a disadvantage (mostly when they visit the opponent's headquarters). So using a neutral field and also a single match in the Coppa Italia final is very appropriate.

And if Atalanta manages to beat Juventus in the final. That's right, as far as I know, this trophy will indeed be Atalanta's first trophy in the Coppa Italia. However, it looks like it will not be easy for Atalanta to beat Juventus. The reason is, even though Juventus is not playing well in Serie A this season, it is different in the Coppa Italia. Juventus definitely wants to win a trophy this season, so Juventus will definitely fight for the Coppa Italia trophy with all their might.
Atlanta managed to make a comeback after in the first leg they were defeated by Fiorentina, with Atlanta's success in reaching the Coppa Italia final, Atlanta automatically now has the opportunity to end the season with 2 trophies at once after they are also still in the semifinals of the Europa League this season, although it was quite difficult to beat Fiorentina from the first round, but fortunately Atlanta was able to destroy Fiorentina after they were superior in number of players,  For now Juventus have been waiting for the final after they previously beat Lazio, Juventus' performance in the Coppa Italia honestly surprised me because it was very different when they played in the league so far.

I think it's not too strange in football, because so far every competition that uses a knockout system will of course have a home away match until the semi-finals, while in the final round of course both teams will play in a neutral place to prevent cheating, partiality and also dominance of support by one of the teams that play in the final.
It is true, Atalanta's efforts this season deserve a thumbs up because they were able to reach the semifinals of the Europa League (UEFA) and also reach the final of the Coppa Italia. Even though at the start of this season, in both the Europa League and Coppa Italia, Atalanta was not the favorite team. However, with their current achievements, Atalanta has proven that they are not a weak team. Then in the Coppa Italia final Atalanta will face Juventus. Meanwhile, in the European League, Atalanta will face Marseille.
These two matches will definitely be very exciting to watch. The reason is, it is very rare to see a team like Atalanta able to progress this far (playing in the semifinals of the Europa League and also the final of the Coppa Italia). Maybe if they win in these two competitions, Atalanta will beat Juventus this season in terms of winning trophies, because so far Juventus have not been able to win a single trophy.

And if you look at the meeting between Juventus and Atalanta. In the last three meetings, Juventus and Atalanta have always played a draw. So if you look at this, the performance of Juventus and Atalanta can be said to be very balanced. Therefore, the Coppa Italia final match this time will definitely be a little difficult to predict. Moreover, this match will be played on a neutral field. What is certain is that the sensation will be different when competing at home or at the opponent's home ground. Because as you said, on a neutral field the supporters of the two teams will definitely be very evenly matched. And of course the intimidation from the audience for both teams will also be equal. Therefore, it will definitely be very difficult to predict which team has the greatest chance of winning the Coppa Italia title this season.

Manchester city will not loose their match again Brighton, because currently Manchester city is the top of the league, I have consider then as the favorite this season again, because they are not ready to make mistake that Liverpool and Arsenal did, once they loose any match now they will drop in point and to go back the first  will going to be something very hard for them. Because if any team among and Arsenal and Liverpool will go back to the top one, is going to very hard for them yo is going yo be for them.
Yes, this has been proven by Pep Guardiola's team in last night's match against Brighton. The reason is that in last night's match Manchester City managed to win the match against Brighton smoothly with quite a landslide goal (4-0). So now Manchester City can return to second place in the Premier League standings. Then only 1 point adrift of Arsenal who are currently at the top of the standings. However, this still makes Manchester City superior to Arsenal. The reason is, currently Arsenal has played 34 matches. Meanwhile, Manchester City has only played 33 matches. Even though currently Arsenal is ahead on points and is at the top of the Premier League standings. However, this does not make Arsenal safe from Manchester City. Maybe at the end of this season there will be drama that will definitely be tense for Arsenal. The reason is, there is a big possibility that Manchester City will definitely be able to continue to sweep the remaining matches this season with a win. So if this happens, it is very likely that Arsenal will fail to become Premier League champions.

The reason is that currently Arsenal only has 4 matches left. Meanwhile, Manchester City has 5 more matches remaining. So, if for example Manchester wins in these 5 matches, then Manchester City will get an additional 15 points (15+76=91). Meanwhile, Arsenal, for example, can also win the remaining 4 matches. Then Arsenal will get 12 points (12+77=89). So in essence Manchester City will be superior to Arsenal, if for example all the remaining matches can be won.

And Liverpool doesn't seem to have big hopes of becoming Premier League champions. The reason is that currently Liverpool can be said to be unable to compete because they have the lowest points between Arsenal and Manchester City.

I think Al Hilal players and the whole team including the manager and the team behind are very sad right now, because they already know they win this tournament a few weeks ago after the win against Al Nassr, but the other aim of the season was surely win the Asian Champions League and losing in the semifinals against Al AIn is for sure a huge blow for them.
In the Saudi Arabian League (SPL), Al Hilal are confirmed to be champions this season. The reason is, Al Hilal's performance in the Saudi Arabian League is very good and second to none. Then in the Asian Champions League (ACL), Al Hilal also actually has a big chance of qualifying for the final. Because when competing against Al Ain, I saw that Al Hilal players always excelled in everything. All of this was visible from the first leg to the second leg. But unfortunately victory has not yet been on Al Hilal's side. In the first leg, Al Hilal lost to Al Ain, due to a penalty kick. Because in the first leg, as far as I know, Al Ain received 3 penalty kicks and all of them resulted in goals. So in the first leg Al Hilal lost with a fairly heavy score. Then in the second leg that just happened, Al Hilal managed to win against Al Ain with a score of 2-1. However, unfortunately Al Hilal still lost on aggregate to Al Ain (5-4). If only Al Hilal could score 1 more goal against Al Ain in this second leg, I'm sure the story would be different. Because of course after that there will be extra time and it is very likely that Al Hilal will win. Because in terms of ball control, Al Hilal is always superior to Al Ain. However, unfortunately Al Hilal failed to equalize the aggregate in this second leg. And must accept the fact that Al Hilal failed in the Asian Champions League. So currently Al Hilal will most likely only enjoy the local trophy (Saudi Arabia) and also the domestic league trophy of the Saudi Arabian League.

It is natural that currently many parties are favoring Real Madrid to win the UCL. The reason is, in the quarter-finals Real Madrid was able to beat Manchester City, who won the UCL last season. Because of this, Real Madrid received a lot of support compared to the other 4 teams that qualified for the semifinals. Then in this semifinal, I think Real Madrid will have a slight advantage over Bayern Munich in the first leg. Even though the first leg of the semifinals will be held at Bayern Munich's headquarters and this will of course provide a bigger advantage for Bayern Munich. However, the thing that Real Madrid benefited from in this first leg was because many Bayern Munich players were injured. Because currently, as far as I know, 7 Bayern Munich players are injured. And 2 of them are players who play on the right wing (Leroy Sane and Serge Gnabry).

So ahead of the match against Real Madrid, Bayern Munich has weaknesses in several lines and the worst is on the right wing. The reason is, two right wingers belonging to Bayern Munich are injured. And this will certainly benefit Real Madrid a little. So in this first leg, even though the match was held at Bayern Munich's headquarters, I personally prefer Real Madrid to Bayern Munich. And in the second leg, Real Madrid will definitely appear superior because they will be playing at home. So if you look at the current situation, it is very likely that Real Madrid will win over Bayern Munich in two legs at once.

Of course Real Madrid are seen as the major favorites for the UCL especially after they’ve been able to defeat fellow heavyweight Man City in the quarterfinals. Many now have no option than to queue behind and throw in major support for Real Madrid to end the season with their 15th UCL trophy.

 ⁠This team is the major holder of this trophy and as such they’re well experienced in winning this trophy as compared to all other four teams and you can be so sure of them being able to win than your degree of being sure about other teams. Against Bayern Munich, I think Real Madrid still have the advantage and a major advantage for them will now be the injured players for Bayern Munich.

 ⁠Currently Bayern have about 7 of its main starters out on injury and with that number, you can already imagine Real dominating in the first leg at the Alianz Arena. If they will dominate that much ij the first leg which will be away from home, how much more will they do when they play the return leg in front of their fans. So you now understand why Real Madrid will probably be the winners. Psg are going to be a better opposition in the finals though but I don’t see them being able to stop Real Madrid at all.
I will say that even if Bayern Munich have all their first eleven players on the field and all their substitutes fit, there is nothing that they will play to win Real Madrid. This is because Real Madrid is stronger than them currently, and Real Madrid have the attacking force it takes to destroy any club defense.

Real Madrid does not have home or away, as they can win anywhere that they are playing the game. Another thing is that whatever made Real Madrid to reach the semifinals Bayern is a small challenge for them to get rid of.
Yes, actually Real Madrid's toughest challenge in the UCL has been resolved. Namely in the quarter-finals against Manchester City. Because when Real Madrid played against Manchester City, I think at that time the Real Madrid players had a little difficulty winning the match. The reason is that Manchester City in that match was very strong in defense and very sharp in attack. So in the quarter-final match, Real Madrid was able to win over Manchester City with great difficulty. In fact, I felt that the atmosphere of the Manchester City versus Real Madrid match felt like the final round. So it wouldn't be wrong if I said that in the UCL this time Real Madrid's toughest challenge was Manchester City and in the quarter-finals Real Madrid managed to overcome it.

And in the semifinals it might not be as difficult as in the quarterfinals. Especially with the shortcomings that Bayern Munich currently has. Of course, it will make it easier for Real Madrid to win the match in the semifinals this time. And for the final match, PSG is indeed a more worthy opponent than Borusia Dortmund. Because what is clear, if you look at the quality of the players, PSG is superior to Dortmund. But in my personal opinion, it doesn't matter whether PSG or Dortmund will be Real Madrid's opponents in the UCL final. Because of course the team that can qualify for the UCL final is the best team.

Atalanta managed to win against Fiorentina and qualified for the Italian Cup final against Juventus.

Unlike the semi-final which is played in two matches, the final will be played as a single match on a neutral pitch.

it could be the first victory for Atalanta in the cup if I'm not mistaken.
It could be Allegri's last trophy with Juvenuts
~Snip
In this match, the Atalanta players really showed their quality against the Fiorentina players. Because winning with a score of 4-1 in my opinion is something to be proud of. However, there is one Atalanta player who in my opinion had the best performance in this match. The player is Scamacca. In that match, Scamacca succeeded in making Fiorentina's defense in disarray. He also managed to score 2 very beautiful goals against Fiorentina, even the second goal scored by Scamacca was a very beautiful volley. However, unfortunately Scamacca's first goal was disallowed by the referee, because one of the Fiorentina players was fouled by an Atalanta player.

Then playing on a neutral field in the final match, in my opinion, would be better and feel more tense. Because this will prevent both teams from feeling disadvantaged. It's different if you use the home away system, this system always makes the team feel at a disadvantage (mostly when they visit the opponent's headquarters). So using a neutral field and also a single match in the Coppa Italia final is very appropriate.

And if Atalanta manages to beat Juventus in the final. That's right, as far as I know, this trophy will indeed be Atalanta's first trophy in the Coppa Italia. However, it looks like it will not be easy for Atalanta to beat Juventus. The reason is, even though Juventus is not playing well in Serie A this season, it is different in the Coppa Italia. Juventus definitely wants to win a trophy this season, so Juventus will definitely fight for the Coppa Italia trophy with all their might.

Finally they did it.
Keeping Xavi is the right decision for Barcelona. Because it is Xavi who so far has the greatest potential and is able to manage the club from downturn. No coach or football manager is perfect, but Xavi did it better. even if they lose Xavi, who knows who can do as well as the Xavi Barcelona can get for now.

Source: Xavi has decided to change his mind and STAY as Barcelona manager!


And Xavi's decision to want to stay at Barcelona is also very worthy of appreciation. because after all, we got to see how disappointed and depressed he was. However, in the end, Xavi was able to control himself and make peace with everyone. It certainly won't be easy for him to decide to finally stay at Barcelona, at least until 2025. But this decision is quite proud.
With the financial conditions that Barcelona is currently experiencing, it is the right decision to retain Xavi as coach. Because of course it will be difficult to find a new Barcelona coach who suits the players' playing style and also suits Barcelona's current finances. So this news will certainly feel very positive for Barcelona and also the fans who want Xavi to continue coaching at Barcelona. And for Barcelona players too, this news will certainly be very happy. The reason is that of course no one thought that Xavi would give up his intention to leave Barcelona, ​​after receiving the heavy pressure that Xavi experienced from Barcelona fans. The reason is, in almost all football news media, it is reported that Xavi will leave Barcelona at the end of this season. So most people who read the news will believe it. The reason is, the reason Xavi wants to leave Barcelona is quite reasonable, namely because Barcelona fans think he is not suitable to coach Barcelona.

However, it seems that management at Barcelona has succeeded in convincing Xavi so that Xavi is willing to continue coaching Barcelona.
And I am sure this will have a very good impact on Barcelona's progress in the coming season. The reason is, next season, Xavi has many things he can learn from this season to make Barcelona shine even more in European football. So I will be really looking forward to this upcoming season.

Liverpool lost again tonight. It seems Liverpool doesn't want to be champions.
Arsenal will now wait for Manchester City to drop points, I hope they do.
Things are going well for Arsenal right now, but they should definitely not lose points. If they lose points, M.City will be champions again.

I didn't expect Liverpool to lose against a team like Everton. Even though in that match M Salah and his friends were able to control the game very strikingly. So I think Liverpool will win this game easily. However, it turned out that the Everton players played very well even though they were under intense attacks from the Liverpool players. In this match, Liverpool actually also had many opportunities that had the potential to become goals. However, Everton's goalkeeper (Pickford) always managed to save his goal well. So until the match was over the Liverpool players failed to score a goal against Everton. And Liverpool had to accept defeat against Everton with a score of 2-0.

I think Liverpool wasted a golden opportunity by losing this important match. Because as we know, Arsenal currently leads the Premier League standings. So Liverpool's defeat gave Arsenal a little room to become more comfortable at the top of the standings. And it looks like Manchester City will not easily lose points in the remaining matches this season, so it is certain that Arsenal will compete closely with Manchester City. However, if for example this week Manchester City loses points, this will make Arsenal even stronger at the top of the Premier League standings and it may be difficult to shift them back.

Yes, clubs in Saudi Arabia do have very abundant finances. So it is very natural that Saudi Arabian clubs use this abundant money to advance football in their country. The reason is that clubs in Europe too, can progress because they have sufficient finances so they can recruit very talented players. For this reason, it is very likely that Saudi Arabian League clubs will follow the steps of European clubs in order to improve the quality of their football. And one of the steps is definitely to take advantage of his very abundant finances.

However, one of the problems that Saudi Arabian League clubs should be wary of is that some clubs do not seem to have sufficient funds to recruit top European players. The reason is that in the transfer market last season, only Al Nasr, Al Hilal, Al Ahli, Al Ittihad and Al Etiffaq dominated the transfer market by bringing in top players from Europe. However, other Saudi Arabian League clubs have not recruited too many top European players. So this season's Saudi Arabian League looks less competitive (which is currently ongoing). Maybe the reason is because the quality of clubs, especially in terms of players, is not evenly distributed well.

And a big example, Al Hilal this season has never been defeated by any club in Saudi Arabia. Even a team like Al Nasr was unable to beat Al Hilal this season. So the right solution to overcome this problem is that in the next transfer market, clubs in Saudi Arabia must be able to bring in top players from Europe and of course also qualified coaches. So that competition in the Saudi Arabian League can become more competitive and of course the name of the Saudi Arabian League will become increasingly famous in the world of football.
~Snip

 ⁠The board and government have to quickly look for a way out before things get out of hand and the possible way out is supporting most of these small clubs as this will help them bring in major European players they desire. The board should also try to see that local transfer is being funded to help the players grow and also help to move funds round the league too.
Yes, this is the perfect solution. Because if, for example, small teams in Saudi Arabia are not assisted or sponsored by brands or companies that are able to provide funds, then the Saudi Arabian League will certainly have a little difficulty in progressing. Because if only 1 or 2 teams have enough funds to bring in top European players, then it is certain that the competition and viewing ratings will only focus on those 2 teams. And when small teams play where there are no top players from Europe, I'm sure the audience and fan ratings will definitely be much less. Because even in the current season this has been proven. Because only when Al Nasr, Al Hilal and Al Ittihad play, the Saudi Arabian League becomes widely watched. However, when small teams compete it becomes less interesting to watch and ultimately there are not too many spectators. This doesn't mean that players from small teams in the Saudi Arabian League have bad qualities. But the problem is that there is no big attraction (top European players) to watch the matches of these small teams. So in essence, the government that regulates football in Saudi Arabia and sponsors must be able to look at small teams, so that the Saudi Arabian League can be more conducive, competitive and much more interesting to continue watching.

In the match between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, everyone is expecting Real Madrid to win. I also do not think it is going to be any different. even though people also did not expect Real Madrid to actually approach to this stage of the competition by beating Manchester City, I think Real Madrid is the favorite to win the Champions League title. Now it is possible for Bayern Munich to actually win the first leg against Real Madrid because the match is going to be played on the home ground of Bayern Munich.

But we should not forget that the second leg is obviously going to be played in the ground of Real Madrid. Over the two legs, I think Real Madrid is going to find a way to approach to the final of the competition and beat Bayern Munich in the process as well. Of course, Buyer is going to try their best to win because after 11 years they have lost the Bundesliga title. This is the only chance they have to achieve anything glorious in this season
It is natural that currently many parties are favoring Real Madrid to win the UCL. The reason is, in the quarter-finals Real Madrid was able to beat Manchester City, who won the UCL last season. Because of this, Real Madrid received a lot of support compared to the other 4 teams that qualified for the semifinals. Then in this semifinal, I think Real Madrid will have a slight advantage over Bayern Munich in the first leg. Even though the first leg of the semifinals will be held at Bayern Munich's headquarters and this will of course provide a bigger advantage for Bayern Munich. However, the thing that Real Madrid benefited from in this first leg was because many Bayern Munich players were injured. Because currently, as far as I know, 7 Bayern Munich players are injured. And 2 of them are players who play on the right wing (Leroy Sane and Serge Gnabry).

So ahead of the match against Real Madrid, Bayern Munich has weaknesses in several lines and the worst is on the right wing. The reason is, two right wingers belonging to Bayern Munich are injured. And this will certainly benefit Real Madrid a little. So in this first leg, even though the match was held at Bayern Munich's headquarters, I personally prefer Real Madrid to Bayern Munich. And in the second leg, Real Madrid will definitely appear superior because they will be playing at home. So if you look at the current situation, it is very likely that Real Madrid will win over Bayern Munich in two legs at once.

Juventus, even by losing, managed to qualify for the Italian Cup final and beyond.

As a finalist he also earned the right to play in the Italian Super Cup, which is another sure amount of money coming into the club.

The second finalist will be between Atalanta and Fiorentina.
Yes, even though Juventus lost to Lazio in the second leg of the Italian Cup with a score of 2-1. However, fortunately in the first leg, Juventus managed to win the match with a score of 2-0. So that way Juventus still won on aggregate and entered the Italian Cup final. Then for the teams in the Italian Cup semifinals, Fiorentina and Atalanta. Currently, Fiorentina is ahead on aggregate over Atalanta (1-0). The reason is that in the first leg, Fiorentina was only able to win 1-0 over Atalanta. So in the upcoming second leg, I think Fiorentina will have to work harder to maintain their lead. The reason is that in this second leg, Fiorentina will visit Atalanta's headquarters. So of course the Atalanta players will give their best game. For this reason, Fiorentina players must be able to anticipate this better.

The reason is that in the first leg, Fiorentina played at their own headquarters and was finally able to win narrowly over Atalanta. However, in this match Atalanta continued to dominate the game very well. So of course, if Atalanta plays at home, I'm sure Atalanta will be able to overwhelm the Fiorentina players. And it is not impossible that Atalanta will be able to turn things around and be able to win the match over Fiorentina and then advance to the Italian Cup final. So my prediction is that in the semifinals of the Italian Cup, Atalanta will most likely qualify for the final and face Juventus.

A big competition is going to happen between Barcelona and Girona. Girona is only two points behind Barcelona. And both of them have a match against each other. They are going to fight for the second position. I believe for both of the teams it actually means something to be the runner-up of the La Liga competition. For Barcelona, it means having some pride in finishing in the second position. For Girona, I believe finishing on the first three positions is already a big improvement. But finishing in the second position and finishing above Barcelona is something of an achievement in itself. But they will also have to win the other matches that are left for them. I don’t know if Girona will be able to be so consistent at this stage.

Let Girona win their next match against Las Palmas and Girona also wins their next match against Valencia before we can analyse their head to head match that will be coming up first week of may. Barcelona are a team that will want to keep their prestige and wouldn’t want Girona to finish above them because of how closed they are with each other now. Girona at this point will not mind the position they will finish on since this is their best season so far in the La Liga and they’ve already achieved something to be praised for.

~Snip
Sure, this week Girona is only 2 points behind Barcelona. The reason is, in the previous match Barcelona was defeated by rivals Real Madrid. Meanwhile, Girona managed to win the match against Cadiz. So, Girona now has the opportunity to overtake Barcelona in second place in Laliga. But even so, as we know there is still one more match before Barcelona and Girona face each other. So in this case I really agree with @Jegileman's opinion. Because the point is we have to see first how the final results of Barcelona and Girona's matches with their respective opponents will be. The reason is, this week Barcelona or Girona could draw or lose against the team they will play against. Even though the possibility of Barcelona and Girona losing is very small in this week's match. However, this can still happen. Especially in the Barcelona match against Valencia. Because in the previous match Barcelona had a very difficult time against Valencia, so in this match I think there is a possibility that Barcelona will again have difficulty facing Valencia.

So in essence Girona has 2 options to be able to shift Barcelona from 2nd position. The first option is for Barcelona to lose or draw against Valencia and Girona to win against Las Palmas. And the second option is that Barcelona and Girona both win their matches this week. Then when Girona faces Barcelona, ​​Girona must be able to win the match. Personally, I think the second option is the most likely.

It turns out that my guess was correct, now Arsenal has recovered and Arsenal's performance has risen again in Arsenal's match against Chelsea. Arsenal has proven itself that it is a strong team. Arsenal won the match against Chelsea with a fantastic score of 5-0. Havertz scored 2 goals, White scored 2 goals and Trossard scored 1 goal.

Many thought that Arsenal would have difficulty against Chelsea, but now Arsenal has proven that they can win. Of course, with this result, Arsenal is still leading at the top of the standings. It seems that there is great hope for Arsenal to become champions this season as long as Pep and Klopp's troops do not consistently win.

In the next match in the EPL, Arsenal will face Tottenham, of course Tottenham, who is currently ranked 5th in the EPL, is not an easy team to beat and of course their ranking in the standings is better than Chelsea. However, if you look at Tottenham's last match against New Castle, I'm sure Arteta's troops will appear confident and win the match.
The Arsenal players in this match were able to play very impressively. By using sharp counter attacks Arsenal were able to make Chelsea lose big in this match. Because if you look at the whole match, what I see is that Chelsea dominated a lot of ball possession. But unfortunately Chelsea was unable to penetrate Arsenal's strong defense so Chelsea was unable to score a goal against Arsenal. So looking at this match, Arsenal really deserves to be the strongest candidate to become Premier League champions this season.

But even so, Liverpool and Manchester City have not played a single match this week. So it is very likely that Liverpool and Manchester City will produce good results in their respective matches, so they can catch up on points from Arsenal, who are currently at the top of the standings. And the clubs that Liverpool and Manchester City will face this week are also not very strong. Namely Liverpool will face Everton while Manchester City will face Brighton. So there is a big possibility that Liverpool and Manchester City will definitely win the match. And got the full 3 points.

And for Arsenal's match against Tottenham next week. I think the match will definitely be very fierce. Because as you said, Tottenham is definitely superior to Chelsea, both in terms of standings and player quality. So with this Arsenal will definitely have a little difficulty winning the match. Because if you look at the last meeting between Arsenal and Tottenham, the result ended in a draw. So that way we can conclude that Tottenham is a team that Arsenal cannot underestimate either. But even so, I am sure that next week Arsenal will definitely be able to beat the Tottenham players and will most likely win the match.

With the financial strength they currently have, many are optimistic that the Saudi Pro League can develop to be more competitive as expected, of course this development will be achieved gradually. The addition of European star players is an attraction, and automatically makes the competition fiercer, and from a broader perspective it can increase the fan base. Meanwhile, on the other hand, the season will soon end and we will again see how Saudi Pro League clubs are moving to add depth to their squad.

There are a number of names that are currently rumored to be joining, and it doesn't stop there, it looks like the Saudi Pro League clubs will also recruit top European coaches. The competition for the trophy this season looks unfair, because Al Hilal has consistently topped the standings without being defeated. No team has yet been able to hold back Al Hilal progress, therefore there is a possibility that in the future the Saudi Pro League club will again be active in the transfer window so that we can compete for the trophy next season.
Yes, clubs in Saudi Arabia do have very abundant finances. So it is very natural that Saudi Arabian clubs use this abundant money to advance football in their country. The reason is that clubs in Europe too, can progress because they have sufficient finances so they can recruit very talented players. For this reason, it is very likely that Saudi Arabian League clubs will follow the steps of European clubs in order to improve the quality of their football. And one of the steps is definitely to take advantage of his very abundant finances.

However, one of the problems that Saudi Arabian League clubs should be wary of is that some clubs do not seem to have sufficient funds to recruit top European players. The reason is that in the transfer market last season, only Al Nasr, Al Hilal, Al Ahli, Al Ittihad and Al Etiffaq dominated the transfer market by bringing in top players from Europe. However, other Saudi Arabian League clubs have not recruited too many top European players. So this season's Saudi Arabian League looks less competitive (which is currently ongoing). Maybe the reason is because the quality of clubs, especially in terms of players, is not evenly distributed well.

And a big example, Al Hilal this season has never been defeated by any club in Saudi Arabia. Even a team like Al Nasr was unable to beat Al Hilal this season. So the right solution to overcome this problem is that in the next transfer market, clubs in Saudi Arabia must be able to bring in top players from Europe and of course also qualified coaches. So that competition in the Saudi Arabian League can become more competitive and of course the name of the Saudi Arabian League will become increasingly famous in the world of football.

Barcelona managed to compete well against Real Madrid in El Clasico although they lost the match 3-2 to Real Madrid. At present, the performance of Real Madrid, on the contrary, the performance of Barcelona was getting worse, we considered that the result of this match could be by a big margin, but it was not a big margin. Although not as competitive as we expect in these El Clasico matches, Barcelona tried hard enough and they did well enough against Real Madrid. This season Real Madrid is an irresistible team and it is very difficult to stop them.
In this match I saw Barcelona's performance was very good. Even though I had to lose to Real Madrid, I was not disappointed because the Barcelona players played quite well in this match. Because what I like about Barcelona's performance tonight is that the Barcelona players control the ball more and can play more openly. Maybe if for example Real Madrid didn't get a penalty kick and Barcelona could defend better in the second half, I'm sure Barcelona would definitely win the match. However, unfortunately Belingham shook Barcelona's goal in the final minutes of the match so Barcelona had to be patient with the defeat. And thanks to Barcelona's defeat in this match, it is very likely that Real Madrid will no longer face major obstacles in becoming Laliga champions this season. The reason is, currently Barcelona can no longer catch up with Real Madrid if they look at the point difference which is already very far behind. So for the remainder of this season Barcelona must maintain second place.

And I congratulate Real Madrid on this victory.


Bellingham has notched up 21 goal this season in all competition

This was an incredible match, to be honest. Barcelona actually had the lead at one point. But it did not last for long. Barcelona started the scoring. But ended up giving away a penalty after 12 minutes of scoring. Barcelona was able to score again in the 69th minute and Real Madrid again scored in the 73rd minute of the match. And when it looked like the match might end in a draw, Real Madrid sealed the coffin by scoring in injury time,
and guess who scored the decisive goal?
It was Jude Bellingham.  Grin

At this point, this guy is literally challenging Zidane being the best midfielder in the world. Great performance from Real Madrid. But I genuinely thought that Barcelona probably deserved a point from this match. But also Real Madrid did not deserve to not get a win in this match.
Yes, this season Bellingham played very well with Real Madrid. In almost every match, Bellingham is always a very reliable player in Real Madrid's attack line. So it is not surprising that this season Bellingham has scored 21 goals. Maybe Bellingham will add another goal. Because, there are still several matches left in this season. So Bellingham still has the opportunity to add to his goal record this season and become La Liga's top scorer. And Bellingham's performance in this match was very good. The reason is that Bellingham can score goals in very crucial minutes.

And in this match, Real Madrid and Barcelona both showed very good performances. But this is the world of football, there are no such things as coincidences, including Real Madrid's victory. Because basically in this match Barcelona and Real Madrid could be said to have played very evenly if you look at their performance. However, the Barcelona players lacked focus in the final minutes and finally conceded. And the point is that this El Classico match is very entertaining and very fierce.
